[QUOTE="Lokiare, post: 6261739, member: 83996"] Yes. I stand by the 'building burning down' analogy. For some that old building needed to be removed. for others they didn't care one way or the other, but for those that went there on a regular basis and loved that building its a big deal. The problem lies in the fact that 5E could be built in such a way that everyone would like the new building because it would have a historical side that mimicked much older buildings as well as a wing that is a replica of the previous building along side that there could be new experimental sections of the building that deal with things like zero energy costs and alternate experimental systems. Unfortunately what we are getting is a building that looks like older buildings from a certain era, but with much cheaper modern materials used in the flawed old way of building things and they are trying to pass it off as the best building every made incorporating the best features of all the buildings of all time periods. I do plan on finding an online game of 5E once its released. Maybe they will have fixed the problems that I have with it, but from the evidence so far from the open play test and the articles available, I'm not holding out any hope. I'm also not throwing hatred. I'm doing what is called 'critical analysis' wherein I point out the problems with the system in the hopes they are fixed before release. I wish people would quit mis-characterizing my arguments and viewpoint as some kind of hate fest. [/QUOTE]
